Here’s a common scenario organizations increasingly face: Too many web apps with too many vulnerabilities and no chance for immediate remediation.
In the interim, the organization is left exposed to potentially devastating breaches, at a time when web apps have become one of cyber attackers’ favorite targets.
Security researchers have disclosed a Buffer Overflow vulnerability (CVE-2017-7269) in the Microsoft Internet Information Service (IIS) 6.0 web server included in the Windows Server 2003 R2. Qualys Web Application Firewall (WAF) can help you block HTTP requests trying to exploit this vulnerability.
